NEW YORK - Sony Music Entertainment's Twitter account was hacked on Monday, publishing fake statements that pop music icon Britney Spears had died. Sony Music, a unit of Sony Corp., said in a short statement that its social media account was 'compromised' but that the situation 'has been rectified.' The company said it 'apologizes to Britney Spears and her fans for any confusion.' A Sony spokeswoman refused to comment further. A Twitter spokesman did not return emails seeking comment. The 35-year-old international superstar and Grammy Award winner is 'is fine and well,' Spears' manager Adam Leber told CNN.
